CONTRIBUTIONS ASKED FOR
A CAMPAIGN FUND
Money is Needed to Arouse Public
to Necessity of Voting For Edu-
cational Amendment
Attention has been called to the
fact that the A. and M. College is the
only state school whose faculty, so
far, has made no contribution to the
campaign for the educational amend-
ment to be voted on next November.
Members of the faculties of state
institutions have been requested to
contribute $1.00 each and most of
them have responded.
It is earnestly hoped members of
the teaching staff and other officers
of the college will without delay, call
at the Publicity office and give a dol-
lar to help defray the expenses of
this important campaign.

FRESHMAN STOCK
JUDGING CONTEST
I> ON FOR TODAY
The Contest is Being Conducted Un-
der the Auspices of the Saddle
and Sirloin Club
The Freshman Livestock Judging
Contest is on. Some forty odd first
year men are battling today for the
honor of representing their College
on the Freshman Livestock Judging
Team for this year ,while a hundred
or more of their less fortunate class-
mates, who were unable to make the
upper one-third of their respective
sections, are eagerly looking on,
“doping”’ out the winners and select-
ing their favorites in the different:
sections. These fellows are careful-
ly studying every detail of the con-
test and the manner in which it is
conducted. Although they were not
eligible this year, they are determin-
ed that they shall be in the eligible
list in the future.
The contest is being conducted
under the auspices of the Saddle and
Sirloin Club. This wide awake club
is determined that this shall be the
banner contest of all that have ever
been held at College Station. It is
to be conducted on the same plan
as the great International Contest
held annually at Chicago. The man-
agement has been turned over to
members of the 1919 Champion
Team and as they have had the ex-
perience of having gone through the
greatest of all these contests it is ex-
pected that they will make this year’s
event a revelation to those students
and faculty members interested in
competitive livestock judging.
The management of the contest
will be as follows:
erintendent; D. L. Stevens, assistant
superintendent; Ww. W. Derrick, chief
clerk; J .E. Bloodworth, assistant
chief clerk; A. J. Neyland, K. 1.
Edwards, M. G. Snell, H. C. Robin-
son, R. C. Mowery, W. Menzies, sec-
~ The officials are as
follows: Prof. J. C. Burns, judge of
beef cattle; Prof. J. W. ‘Ridgway,
dairy cattle; W. T. McGee and Mec-
Connell, horses, J. M. Jones, sheep;
and A. L. Ward, hogs.
Ten classes of livestoek will be
judged this morning and the after-
noon will be devoted to the hearing
of reasons. It is planned to have the
results totaled soon after the close
of the contest this afternoon, but the |
winners will not be announced until
tonight. = The Saddle and Sirloin
Club will meet at 7:30 o’clock to-
night in the E. E. Lecture room when
the winners will be announced and

FIRST OF SERIEN
TO THE PIRATES
Southwestern Pirates .Win in Ten
Innings From the Farmers at
Georgetown Thursday
The Aggies lost the game played
Thursday afternoon with South-
western at Georgetown by the score
of 5 to 4.
The following account of the game
was received from Georgetown soon
after the game:
Pinch Hitter Robertson broke up
a ten-inning tie with a mighty drive
that scored Edens for third, South-
western taking the game from Ag-
rieultural and Mechanical College by
a score of 5 to 4. Edens was the
man of the day. His pitching and
hitting won the game. He was re-
sponsible for four of the five runs
made. His home run in the first in-
ning netted three runs. Edens dem-
onstrated wonderful head work and
pitched air-tight ball throughout the
long ten inning affair.
Sprague worked eight innings for
A. and M. College. He was relieved
by Henderson, who also pitched a
good brand of ball.
